ABOUT US
The dojo's martial system is known as Chikurin Te Budo (Hand of the Bamboo Grove), based upon a variety of parent ancestor arts spanning approximately 900 years. Delivered in an academic format, our program enables students to relate their curriculum to the experiences that they have in their public school system and other educational institutes. The curriculum is structured into grading semesters, providing regular reviews and feedback that support their study. While the classes are instructed in English, reference and credit to the parent nationalities and names of each method are synonymous to the education. During your study at The Dojo, you will be exposed to gateway skills and tools from larger martial disciplines. Each of our advanced black belt instructors has a different background and studies exclusively in one or several independent martial arts styles. During the inception of The Dojo in 2001, these masters contributed their area of expertise to each of the three facets of our academy: sport, self-defense, and traditional methods. In short, you'll learn the most effective tools from arts such as traditional Japanese and Okinawan karate, Chinese kung fu, Korean tang soo do, Filipino kali/silat, Muay Thai, Brazilian jiu jitsu, and much more! The program delivers an array of new and exciting skills while utilizing the common grounds of successful training. Whether your motives for training are recreational, fitness-driven, or for developing effective self-defense skills, The Dojo at Dunwoody will assist you in becoming your personal best!

I expected the physical benefits of martial arts training, including muscle strength, endurance and flexibility, but never anticipated the emotional and cognitive changes such as improved mood, attitude and mental acumen. It's amazing how the mind and body of someone in their late 40's can respond so positively to such an experience.
Michael Banov, M.D.
I can't say enough to express my gratitude to you for helping to shape the character of our son. He has developed character traits that are not common to someone of his age, including self-confidence, respect, honor, integrity and determination. I might be your biggest fan and consistently sing the praises of your dojo to prospective parents.
Ann Pinyan, President/CEO, GRN Sandy Springs
The classes take all your attention and the fitness level resulting from only a few 45 minute classes per week is astounding. You will be pushed, but leave with a sense of having fun and achieved something. The benefits go beyond the Dojo, I use the framework and strategies of attacks presented during training on business and personal goals.
Maia Dale, MBA
The skills that are taught in karate are for everyone- from Police Officers to children learning self-defense. Very few places in this world still teach honor and respect for others as desirable virtues. I am proud to say that THE DOJO teaches these virtues and many, many more skills for a successful journey through life.
Cpl. Douglas L. Blount, Fulton County Police Department
